'Tis the season

Well, as all of you know, 'tis the season for colds and other yucky viruses. Ike and Joey got some sort of bug this week (which they have now passed on to me and Elle). Joey did ok with his cold, but Ike ended up with bronchitis....again (number 3 in 9 months with a mild pneumonia in there somewhere, too). We finally broke down and got a nebulizer for him after the doctor suggested it for the 3rd time (we aren't very good listeners I guess).

Looking pretty miserable on the couch. Not to worry though, whenever his fever would break, he was up and running around like nothing was wrong...despite hacking up a lung

Trying out his new "toy"

Ike wasn't so sure about his new mask, so Dad tried it out to convince him that "look, it's fun"

Did you buy the neb or are you just renting it?? The mask does look a bit intimidating... :) Hang in there! We're FINALLY seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for our round of the nasty cold!

HA! Caleb has Airway Restrictive Disease (pre-asthma) and needs a neb when he gets a common cold. I have tried to put it on and pretend it is fun...they know...it isn't. ;) Praying for you all to get better!

I think we have a virus that can travel through blogs because it seems like everyone is dealing with the same thing! Hope all of you are doing better soon!

It's so great to check up on you, and see what the kids are doing!

Adam said that something about that nebulizer reminds him of ET.
